In recent years, the development of computer technology has promoted the informatization and intelligentization of hospital management systems and thus produced a large amount of medical data. These medical data are valuable resources for research. We can obtain inducers and unknown symptoms that can help discover diseases and make earlier diagnoses. Hypertensive disorder in pregnancy (HDP) is a common obstetric complication in pregnant women, which has severe adverse effects on the life safety of pregnant women and fetuses. However, the early and mid-term symptoms of HDP are not obvious, and there is no effective solution for it except for terminating the pregnancy. Therefore, detecting and preventing HDP is of great importance. This study aims at the preprocessing of pregnancy examination data, which serves as a part of HDP prediction. We found that the problem of missing data has a large impact on HDP prediction. Unlike general data, pregnancy examination data have high dimension and a high missing rate, are in a time series, and often have many non-linear relations. Current methods are not able to process the data effectively. To this end, we propose an improved bi-LSTM-based missing value imputation approach. It combines traditional machine learning and bidirectional LSTM to deal with missing data of pregnancy examination data. Our missing value imputation method obtains a good effect and improves the accuracy of the later prediction of HDP using examination data.
